I was mad for it until my early twenties from about 12. Loved it. The wife, kids and work oh and debt lol mostly debt got in the way but started up again a few years back and wished I had never stopped. Its a healthy life style. The buzz from watching animals work is no less than it was thirty years ago. Never forget the look on my daughters face when a rabbit bolted and I went legging it up the hedge row shouting rabbit rabbit. She said why were you making them funny noises
